Hoe sê ek literally translates into "How say I" and in Afrikaans means "in Afrikaans." For example: When we use the pronoun jy ("you") we are being informal, and u ("you") is formal. AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM BASIC BOOTCAMP S1 #3 - USEFUL PHRASES FOR LEARNING AFRIKAANS 4 So Kan u is a polite way of saying "can you," dit means "it" or "that," and the last word herhaal means "to repeat." For example: This sentence starts again with the same Kan u, (" can you") and stadiger which means "more slowly," and then we had praat, which means "to speak." For example: Again the same Kan u ("can you"), followed by dit, which means "it," then vir is "for," my is "me," opskryf, which means "write down," and finally asseblief means "please." For example: Let's have a look at the verb Kan ("can"). Once again, this verb doesn't change with the pronoun. Af rikaans / "English" kan / "Can" Ek kan / Kan ek? / "I can" / "Can I?" Hy kan / Kan hy? / "He can" / "Can he?" Sy kan / Kan sy? / "She can" / "Can she?" Ons kan / Kan ons? / "We can" / "Can we" Hulle kan/ Kan hulle? / "They can" / "Can they?"
